You could have a charging problem, Bad ASD relay,or the wire harness is to close to the spark plug wires. The last one will throw a lot of people off.Because when the harness is too close to the wire and the age of the wire will sent RFI signal thru the system and cause transmission problems,when there is no problem. If you had a 1992 minivan i would tell to you to replace the speed sensor. Because this was a problem, cutting off fuel.

Is the ck engine lite on? If it is, pull codes and post. If you don't have any codes, then you could have cam or crank sensor out of sync. You will need more information to post to help you.

Shot in the dark here.. It could be your main fuse panel.. Its made out of plastic and once is shot, you need a new one.. the fuses are not sitting in the contacts, because the contatcs are moving...
